I love dogs but to be fair, there's a probably a Tik-Tok of a dog having a zoomie because of finding some dog shit. They aren't the most discriminating creatures -- sort of like the owners of that pub.
It's quite possible the dining room at the pub was the aftermath of a zoomie. In which case, I support the zoomie but not that particular zoomie-adjacent behaviour.
Your plumber observation hit me deep 😂 and yeah, about that elephant in the room - when in entirely new environments, "they're going to shoot the messenger" tends to win out as an assumption. "Maybe this is how it's done, here?" It's hard to have our first interaction be a "did you know that...", projecting what we expect onto a place we hardly know. Glad the Parmi held up for you. The pub's common denominator.
"We all smell better after a good wash and it was getting very close to the point where a quiet word may have been needed. For someone to pull the weather aside and gently suggest that a bit of a shower might be in order." I loved this!
I am one who appreciates the hyperboles of emotions but maybe thanks to my upbringing, not its display though. We could feel deeply (either happy or sad), but we don't necessarily need a zoomie to express that...but to each its own. I might end up writing all about it though - my version of zoomie!
I'm glad chicken parmi saved the day. Though there is a common conception in Asia that the dirtier a place is, the tastier its food is and we all know why....
Having spent some time in Asia I know what you mean. Those places always had the best food! And no pressure regarding zoomies. A zoomie is a very personal thing :)

Sometimes a zoomie's gotta...zoom?

Thanks, Van! And yes, exactly. Thanks for your understanding. Definitely felt like a 'don't shoot the messenger' kind of situation.
Did you dress up like drag queens to impress the Outback locals?
(OMG, Americans who only know Australia from Australian movies are the WORST.)
Riff on chicken parmi made me LOL.
Haha. The WORST. I'll let you have this one. Also, thanks!

Oh thank you, Gardener! Appreciate it.
What pray tell is an in-chair zoomie?

Love this! Thanks for the good laughs today🤣
Thanks, Joyce! I'm glad it did the job :)
